I was lying in bed and started having cramping, thought nothing of it as the past few weeks of hoping had turned out to be absolutely nothing at all and was very disappointing. So I went to sleep. I had dreams of being in the hospital and having pain but I could feel the pain in real life... so weird. 4:30am hubby was getting up for work, the cramping was still there. I told him I was unsure if he should go to work. Then I completely doubted it as it has been nothing for so damn long. So I said forget it just keep your phone on and bring it with you. So at 5am I got out of bed and said, they arent going away. he asked if I thought baby was coming, I said i duno. So he left for work and I stayed home. at 7am I started having contractions but they werent consistant AT ALL so again, thought it was BH`s. Crazy shit I tell ya. I started timing them on the computer and still werent consistant at all. Called hubby and told him to come home as i wanted to be checked to ease my mind. I thought about packing my bag but didnt do it. Hubby picked up our babysitter on hisway home and I decided to pack my bag. Still not having pain, just discomfort. So we left for the hospital and got there at about 10:30 am and got in right away, they checked me and to my surprise I was 3cm. Then reality hit me and I was like `oh shit its actually happening`. 20 mins later they checked me again and I was 3-4cm.. .I was thinking well DAMN Im laboring SLOW as I never have before this time! So they told me to walk. I walked for a half hour, got upstairs and we went into the labor lounge and sat there and I started having real contractions that actually hurt me badly. I didnt make a peep. I breathed through them and swayed and sang... kids songs in my head ! It worked WELL! It didnt stop the pain but it got my mind off of it and and it was so much easier to deal with the pain. So an hour after being checked and being only 3-4cm I said to Cam `They need to check me now` so the nurse came and got me and brought me back to bed and said `ok yah your 7cm` so they brought me to my actual LDRP room. I used a wheel chair to get there as by now the pain was to bad to walk, let alone talk. I communicated by nodding and shaking y head. We got to the room in about 30 seconds and they told me to go pee. So I did. I came outta the bathroom and they said they were gonna start my IV as I was GBS positive and I told them, `no, you dont have time I have to push` and they said `oh ok`... as they knew I labored fast. So then I simply said I have to push and started to, they told me no but I didnt listen. I grunted my way through naturl childbirth. The nurse wanted to check me and I said no way. Then the doc said she had to and she did and I told her to get her fucking fingers outta there. So they told me to lay down while I pushed as I was on my side propped up. I said nothing and did my own thing, in my own time. Eventually I ended up on my side... which obviously wasnt long as I went went from 7 to delivery in 5 minutes!! But still.,. you get my point. Once I was on my side I felt the head coming out. I took a deep breath and grabbed Cams hands, despite their request to hold my own legs that WASNT HAPPENING! So I took that deep breath and let out one huge grunting scream and pushed her head out... then shoulders which were wrose... freaking OWY! She came out and was BLUE as the cord was around her neck. But she was fine, they placed her on my chest and she was here, she was finally here!!!!! We stayed in the hospital for 48 hours as I was GBS positive and had no IV meds before she came out. I am home now and am feeling great! My tummy is small again but still very flappy and you can tell I just had a baby, but it will go away in no time I know.

I love her SO MUCH and I am SO EXCITED to have her home!

Oh and I FINALLY have a baby that looks like ME! I have to admit though that she is a funny looking baby but she is cute to me... even though she looks Asian ! LOL!! I lvoe her! I will set pics up now! Love you ALLL!!!! And good luck to you ALL!

This is my Cameron with Brittany, Raymond and Sophie when she was first born!

hi thanks for your reply. its great to hear others that have already done this. i feel i am doing a good job so far just dont know whats best sometimes. i think i shall try the waking up part duraing the day as sometimes he sleeps for 4 hours feeds and then feeds an hour later. and then during the night he doesnt settle like he does in daytime. thank you i shall try this tomorrow and see how the night goes. i will let you know how i get on.


carolynjh - Sunday, 20 July
I saw your post and I know what you mean! I am so excited to meet my 2nd child, but I remember how tough the beginning was with my first. And now that I have a 2 yr old home all day, how am I ever going to get any sleep? Hang in there, she will be 4 months before you know it and starting to sleep 6-8 hours at night!!!!!


Boopy - Friday, 18 July
See...your little girl is one pound more than mine...exactly.

Definitely newborn material. When Anelise gets to be a true 2 month old...I wonder what she'll weigh. Hmmmmm


lizzie61804 - Friday, 18 July

sweepod08 - Friday, 18 July
How are you doing? I hope your hanging in there.. It sounded fron ur post, u r experiencing some post pardum- i think we all are, just some of us more than others to some degree.. I also have experienced what you have and its awful to feel so out of control n guilty of the feelings you're having...Oh and the tears- they come and go.. So hard to figure... I understand.. Its a big adjustment, plus our bodies r sooo messed up... Try to remember that.. PLUS some men can be so crappy about it all.. Well, drop me a line and let me know how you are, ok?? Blessings to you n baby...

My baby is now 9 days old. This is my first. We live with my parents and thank GOD they havve taken baby Bianca the first part of the night to let us sleep. I know that won't last forever but it was nice of them to allow us the rest. I've been getting the blues too. I didn't think it could ever happen to me becuz its a new baby, ya know how could anyone feel sad?? grrrrr I cry every day. I feel useless sometimes or unable to help her.. I can't even get myself to go to dinner with hubby and finally get a drink becuz I might need to be with the little one !! frustrating. but thank you for the advice.


Boopy - Friday, 18 July
Oh...one more thing. We had a drs appointment today and she weighed 6 pounds 14 oz!!! I was shocked! That's 22 oz in 17 days!!! She really does look like a newborn now. No preeminess for her. LOL

Bring on the newborn clothes!!!!

How much does chloe weigh now?


Boopy - Thursday, 17 July
Hey there! Actually...my little girl in no way acts like a 3 month old...she won't act like that until she is truly 3 months old which is calculated from her due date (the 15th of July). She is really only 2 days old....and your little girl is way ahead of her. Hehehe. Her adjusted age will be this way until she reaches 2 years old. So basically...I am starting where you are. Ground zero mama!

Anelise is a day sleeper. She is up 3 or more times a night...and so wide awake. It sux!!! However, I deal with it and try to take a nap during the day. The worst part of this is going to be when I go back to work Sept 3rd. How am I going to do it? She will only be acting like she is a month and a half...and we all know at this age they are still not sleeping thru the night. I'm going to go insane then. I work nights also...which is going to be murder. Well...I work 3-11:30 and my job is about 50 minutes away. Crazy, right?

Right now...I am handling all of the feedings during the night cuz my hubby is working. I guess when i go back and we are both working we will have to share the responsibility. Hopefully.

Welp...it was great hearing from you. Keep in mind...we are going thru the SAME thing! Guess I will have to check out the 0 month page for some sanity advice.

Your baby girl is very beautiful.

lol I know right? So little, but not so innocent...


lizzie61804 - Wednesday, 16 July
having some baby blues, crying spells .. but i swear on belly sleeping .. just but baby on belly during a nap in the day time .. with hand out in front( kinda of) then it helps keep there hand from flyig above them and waking from being startled... the way i see it is if baby can move head side to side then if baby was to spit up then they would have no problem with head ??? try it i sear


Jamie21 - Wednesday, 16 July
really? I love the new born stage that is my favorite time when they are so tiny and helpless, that is why we chose to have another one!! my twin boys have grown up so much, and are able to communicate a little bit and oh its great!! but I miss the new born small tiny and helpless.


daisyluv - Wednesday, 16 July
thank you. My youngest was very jealous in the beggining, wanted to hit her when near the baby, but little by little I started showing her to him and he has gotten to the point where all he wants to do is run to her when she is crying and wants to kiss her when she cries so it has now been great. Congratulations to you too.


eulaha - Wednesday, 16 July
I get frustrated with my 3 week old at times...you're perfectly normal!


Bz mamma - Wednesday, 16 July
Since you have so much experience I wanted to ask you.... why won't baby sleep at night??? she sleeps all ay thru noise and light but as soon as its time for us to go to bed she's up and crying and fussy. I'm gettin grumpy and reallyyyyy tired. please help


Jamie21 - Tuesday, 15 July
Oh haha thank you!!
I always wonder every day how I manage to handle twins, but I guess I don't know any different so
Aww and yes thank you, luckily this pregnancy its only one baby!! But I would of loved to do twins again, but I know for a fact that I wouldn't get to spend quality time with each one, I still really don't get to do that with my twins that I do have and they are 19 months old.
So maybe this baby will be a breeze mind you, I think my twins were very easy being new borns, now I don't think they are so easy!!!
Oh your family is beautiful!!
